The Jets may have missed on Kirk Cousins, but they came away with arguably the top defensive free agent.

On the final day of the legal tampering period, New York agreed to terms on a contract with former Ram Trumaine Johnson, a source confirmed to The Athletic. The terms and conditions of the deal aren't yet known as the contract doesn't become official until 4 p.m. on March 14th (Wednesday).

Johnson, 28, was a third-round pick by the Rams in 2012. He burst on to the scene in 2015 with a seven-interception season and has been one of the league's better cover cornerbacks ever since. He'll slide in as the top corner for the Jets, and likely shadow an opponent's top receiver on Sundays.

Simply put: The Jets needed a cornerback, and they got the best one on the market.
